[한국방송/이훈기자] The Saemangeum region will be fully promoted as a center for carbon neutrality and Green New Deal.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transportation and the Saemangeum Development Administration announced on the 18th that they held a groundbreaking ceremony for the Saemangeum Smart Waterfront City, the onshore solar project and the Smart Green Industrial Complex.

The waterfront smart city to be built at the Saemangeum International Cooperation Site (6.6㎢) will be created as a self-sufficient city of 25,000 inhabitants.

Saemangeum Development Corporation plans to complete the land reclamation and construction of the site by 2024.

With a total project cost of 1.3 trillion won, it will be built in a city equipped with smart and green energy technology and a pleasant waterfront settlement space with jobs through high-tech industries.

The space was organized around 7 bases, which include the Creative and Cultural District, the International Business District, the Public Cluster District and the Ecological / Residential District, and the spaces are connected by a park and a green axis. In addition, there are three differentiated lakes to preserve the characteristics of a city facing the sea.

This project is the first leading project to be launched since 2017 when Saemangeum’s main land reclamation was converted from private to public.

The onshore solar project is a project in which Saemangeum Hope Solar, a power generation company, installs a photovoltaic power generation facility of approximately 0.1 GW on the site east (1.15㎢) of the site research industry in the Saemangeum region and operates it for 20 years, with the goal of starting power generation in 2022. It is being promoted.

This project is carried out in a structure in which local residents participate in the project, with local companies participating in the construction and major equipping using local equipment.

The onshore solar project is the first project to be launched after President Moon Jae-in declared Saemangeum as the ‘Center of Renewable Energy of Korea’ through the ‘Energy Vision Statement Ceremony. Saemangeum Renewable Energy ‘in October 2018.

The Saemangeum Smart Green Industrial Complex is planned to be built into an industrial complex that runs RE100 using the world’s largest abundant renewable energy (3GW) produced at the Saemangeum 5 · 6 (3.7㎢) National Industrial Complex.

RE100 (Renewable Energy 100%) refers to the acquisition of 100% of the amount of electricity used by companies with electricity generated through renewable energy such as solar energy by 2050.

It plans to begin construction of the site from Section 5 of the industrial complex, which has a fast pace of business, and plans to rapidly proceed with follow-up procedures, such as preparing a smart green industrial complex master plan next year and establishing the infrastructure in 2022. .

An official from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport said: “We plan to actively disseminate the achievements of the Smart Green Industrial Complex throughout Saemangeum and make the Saemangeum area a center of carbon neutrality and a new green deal based on abundant renewable energy. “.
